Meet T.A.M.

We were so excited to hear that Angier was hosting an Invention Invasion this year. Kelly, Avery's mom, suggested that Avery, Taraneh and Maddie work together to come up with their invention. It was a lot of fun to see the 1st grade mind work at our brainstorming session. The ideas ranged from a robot who could clean your room, to gloves with a pencil on each finger so that you could write more quickly, to a pillow that combed your hair while you slept. As each girl was wedded to her idea, they decided to combine the three into one large T.A.M. robot (that's Taraneh, Avery and Maddie). Maddie tried to advocate for the M.A.T. robot We were happy to bring in the dads for the building portion of our invention - a pizza and T.A.M. creation event.
So T.A.M. is a robot with a long arm that sucks up all the mess in your room. In her bottom drawer is the hair combing pillow and in the middle drawer are the gloves with pencils on them. I wish I had a better picture of her as she was quite a looker.
Where are the girls?
The evening was wildly popular and such fun to see what these kids came up with.

Daddy's here! We had a great night and can't wait for next year.
